Jennifer Aniston has opened up for the first time about her love life, and has made it clear to anyone doubting her that she is the happiest she's ever been.
The former "Friends" star had penned an op-ed for The Huffington Post, lashing out against body shaming and how women, including herself, feel about being judged for not being married and having any children.
"If I am some kind of symbol to some people out there, then clearly I am an example of the lens through which we, as a society, view our mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, female friends and colleagues," she wrote, adding that it's "absurd" and "disgusting" that women have to go through such "objectification" and "scrutiny."
Now, in a new interview with Marie Claire, the star explains the reason why she wrote the op-ed. Aniston explains that the public has "shamed" almost all elements in her life, including her marital and divorce status.
"It's like, 'Why are we only looking at women through this particular lens of picking us apart? Why are we listening to it?' I just thought: I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human," she said to the magazine, where her cover will be out in its December 2016 issue.
Aniston has been married to her husband, actor and screenwriter Justin Theroux, for about a year, having celebrated their first anniversary last August. In this interview, she also gushes about her significant other and explains why he is "the right person" for her.
"There's no part of me that I don't feel comfortable showing, exposing. And it brings forth the best part of myself, because I care about him so much. And he's such a good person. It hurts me to think of anything hurting him," she says.
As for her career, Aniston admits that she's at a "crossroads" and that she at a time where she is "not completely sure" of what she's doing. Her latest film "Office Christmas Party" is out this month. Watch the trailer below:
